Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Tian Yong, you're here too... And with Young Master Chu?" Qing Yu noticed Luo Tianyong and upon seeing their fingers tightly intertwined, a hint of surprise crossed her face.

"Miss Qing Yu, there's no need to be so surprised," Chu Qin said with a smile. "Tian Yong is my girlfriend now."

"I see, congratulations, Tian Yong!" Qing Yu said with a smile to Luo Tianyong. In her words, there seemed to be a hint of unexplained envy.

"Yeah, Qing Yu, you should also hurry up and find someone you like," Luo Tianyong replied with a smile.

"I, I'm not in a rush!" Qing Yu shook her head.

"Miss Qing Yu, did you need something from me?" Chu Qin asked.

"Nothing much!" Qing Yu shook her head. "Originally, I wanted to ask you about some problems, but, let's talk about them later, I should go now."

After saying this, Qing Yu turned into a gentle breeze and left.

"Qing Yu, she seemed a bit odd," Luo Tianyong said with a puzzled look.

"Let her be," Chu Qin said with a laugh. "Let's go!"

"Chu Qin!" Just as they were about to take a step, another female voice rang out, this time it was Li Ji!

"Li Ji!" Both Luo Tianyong and Chu Qin expressed their surprise.

"Chu Qin, ah... you two?" Just like when Qing Yu saw Chu Qin and Luo Tianyong together, Li Ji was also slightly taken aback.

"We're together now!" Luo Tianyong said with a proactive smile.

"Really? That's great, congratulations, Tian Yong!" Li Ji said with a genuine smile.

"Yeah!" Luo Tianyong nodded happily.

"I didn't expect that among the four of us, you would be the first to have a boyfriend, and what's more, it's an outstanding man like Chu Qin. Tian Yong, you are so blessed!" Li Ji continued.

"Four of us, you, and Tian Yong, who else is there?" Chu Qin asked.

"And there's..."

Just as Li Ji was about to say it, Jiu Yin's voice had already sounded, "Me..."

"So it's Jiu Yin," Chu Qin said with a smile of realization.

"Chu Qin, honestly, you move way too fast," Jiu Yin pouted and said. "Since I've known you, there have been Sister Chen Mu, Saint Lu, Qin Xin, Zi Xi, and now Tian Yong!"

"Hey, Jiu Yin, don't talk nonsense, Sect Master Saint Lu is not one of them," Chu Qin gave Jiu Yin a slight glare.

"Alright then, I forgot, not yet anyway," Jiu Yin said with a laugh.

"Tian Yong, you should be careful, Chu Qin is quite a heartbreaker!" Jiu Yin teased Luo Tianyong.

"It doesn't matter, who asked me to fall for this heartbreaker of a radish," Luo Tianyong said, resting her head on Chu Qin's shoulder, displaying a contented smile.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Jiu Yin, Li Ji, or Qing Yu hiding in the shadows, all felt a sense of envy.

"Let's go, let's find Mu'er, Zi Xi, Qin Xin, and tell them about this so we can avoid one by one inquiries!"

"Okay, sure!"

...

In the following days, Chu Qin and his companions spent a stable period at the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain.

Moreover, it seemed that Jiu Yin had guessed correctly; since the Outer Upper Realm had not arranged for any other insiders, after Green Cloud and Black Serpent were killed, the Outer Heavenly Lord did not trouble Chu Qin and his group.

Qing Yu also successfully refined a sufficient quantity of Six Spirit Jade Pills, and the party left the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain, heading for the legendary Devil's City.

Devil's City!

Located in the core region of Central Continent Heaven within the Devil Rift Valley, Chu Qin and his group's warship traveled for seven days and finally arrived near the valley.

"Chu Qin, Chu Qin, what exactly is Devil's City?" Yun Yun asked.

"Jiu Yin, Miss Qing Yu, Li Ji, you tell us. I also want to know," Chu Qin said, looking toward Jiu Yin and Qing Yu. Up to this point, he only knew that Devil's City was a place where a Demon Ancestor had left the force of grudges, causing all living beings to be susceptible to demonic corruption, but he was completely ignorant about everything else regarding Devil's City.

This was not in Chu Qin's character, as his desire was to know himself as well as the enemy.

"Li Ji, you tell us. I wasn't in the Infinite Heavens for these past years, so I know very little about the changes in Devil's City," Jiu Yin said, turning to Li Ji.

"Well, alright," Li Ji nodded. "Young Master Chu, what is it that you want to know the most?"

"Of course, the location of the World Devil's Tree," Chu Qin said.

Li Ji nodded, then with a flick of her finger, a phantom image appeared before everyone.

The image was filled with mountains and trees, and nestled among them was an immensely grand city.

The city was so large it seemed endless, straddling the center and splitting the high mountain into two.

Whether it was the mountains, trees, rivers or the city itself, they all displayed an eerie black color, indeed somewhat chilling.

"Chu Qin, look, this city is Devil's City!" said Li Ji. "According to my deduction, the World Devil's Tree is located somewhere underground in Devil's City!"

"Underground?" Chu Qin said, slightly startled.

"Yes!" Li Ji nodded. "Because I can deduce that there is an abundance of earth elements around Devil's City, so it must undoubtedly be underground. As for why it is hidden underground, I think it's probably to escape the pursuit of the Outer Heavenly Lord."

"Then how do we get underground?" Azure Dragon asked.

"The ground of Devil's City is just as tough as that of the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain," Jiu Yin said. "So, there must be an entrance somewhere that allows access to the underground."

"An entrance? You mean, we have to search for an entrance to the underground within the vast Devil's City?" Chu Qin's eyebrows knitted slightly.

"Actually, there should only be one entrance," Li Ji said with a smile, looking at Qing Yu.

"Li Ji, what you're referring to is probably the Demonic Blood River in the center of Devil's City, right?" Qing Yu replied. "It is said that the Demonic Blood River in the center of Devil's City connects to Jiuyou Diming and should be the only passage leading to the underground."

"Yes, Qing Yu is correct. My deduction is the same; the World Devil's Tree is hidden beneath the Demonic Blood River," Li Ji nodded in agreement.

"This is going to be troublesome," Jiu Yin's expression changed slightly. "The Demonic Blood River is located within the palace of the Demon Abyss Empress. It seems that if we want to find the World Devil's Tree, we must first get past the Demon Abyss Empress."

Chu Qin smiled inwardly; the Demon Abyss Empress was precisely his target for this journey.

"The Demon Abyss Empress?" All the women present were slightly surprised.

"The Demon Abyss Empress is said to be a descendant of the Demon Ancestor Mo Xie," Jiu Yin explained. "Like me, she carries the supreme demon lineage in her blood. Many years ago, the Red Demon, a Great Elder of my Wanmo Palace, once clashed with this Demon Abyss Empress. Because a rebel from Wanmo Palace had killed many demons and fled into Devil's City, I went to claim justice and ended up fighting with the Demon Abyss Empress. Fortunately, the Demon Abyss Empress was only at the strength of the Imperial Honor Third Heaven, unable to defeat the Red Demon, but the Red Demon also nearly perished from the poisonous miasma of Devil's City and had to leave!"
